That's not to say that cost is unimportant, but getting value out of my efforts and expenditures becomes more important. I recognize that the backdrop is vital to the visual impact of the layout and that the bridge is the centerpiece of the layout.

A renewed sense of finality here...I've lost a few college friends in the last few months and suddenly I'm feeling very mortal, lol. No time like the present so get cracking!
Scaling everything will be critical...that bridge is a freakin' monster. I think it will be a challenge to make the layout not look like a model of a bridge with a couple loops of track tacked on at each end. The overall length of the layout and the mill at one end should go a long way toward balancing things a bit. Can't wait to see it...
